The circumference of the Santun camp city is 7 miles, there are more than 800 barracks in the south of the city, and there are building complexes in the city, such as the garrison department, the governor's office, the guerrilla office, the deputy general military office, and the command and embassy of the loyal and righteous guard.

There are two east-west horizontal streets and two north-south longitudinal streets in the city, forming a "well" character, and the general town government is located in the center of the "well" character. There are also 72 alleys and alleys in the city, which are crisscrossed like a Go chessboard, which is the standard military city regulation of the Ming Dynasty.

In such a large city, under normal circumstances, there are less than two or three thousand people, and even the head of the city is not satisfied, let alone mobilize reserve forces to defend the city at any time. Therefore, the five or six hundred cavalry left here by the Manchu Qing Dynasty were, to put it bluntly, a post guard who used to watch the field and keep the communication between various places unimpeded.

Theoretically speaking, this point of soldiers and horses is sufficient: Zunhua City at the west entrance of the Santun Camp Corridor is heavily guarded, Luanzhou, Qian'an, and Yongping at the east entrance are also occupied by Erbeile Amin's troops, not to mention the Xifengkou in the north, where tens of thousands of Houjin's main forces have just come out of the pass, and there are still a lot of soldiers and horses stranded on the pass.

Therefore, the Santun camp city, which is located at the confluence of the three roads, is extremely safe at the moment, and there will be no war alarm at all.

Unless someone has crossed the ...... Moreover, the people who crossed also set off from Tianjin in the south with soldiers and horses, and pierced through hundreds of miles of mountain roads all the way to the outside of Santun Camp.

.....................

The monster with eight iron legs and red eyes was floating silently in the air, slowly flying towards the headquarters in the middle of the city.

Most of the Tartar soldiers who stayed in the Santun camp lived in the general military palace. The originally lively and noisy military city, except for the fire on the general military palace and the city wall, the rest of the place was dark and silent, and it was already a ghost town.

The infrared camera on the drone quickly caught the flames in the headquarters of the army - seven or eight bonfires were glowing on the school grounds of the house.

Timber removed from the government houses was burning, and pigs and sheep were roasted on the bonfire. Groups of Tartar soldiers were drinking wine and eating meat around the bonfire, and occasionally someone drank too much, and would shake the long sleeves of their leather robes and dance a Mongolian dance; From time to time, there were people who drank too much and scuffled together, and there were bursts of cheers and cheers all around.

The live broadcast of the Tartar soldiers' happy bonfire party was all transmitted to the terminal equipment in the rear in real time by the camera.

And in the tent behind the mountain, Qian Tieshan, who was holding his arm and rubbing his stubble on his chin with one hand, said playfully at this time: "Yes, the Mongolian dance is authentic, and it is on the same level as the yurt girl I saw back then." ”

"Don't mention the yurt, Lao Tzu Tuanjian ran to roast a sheep and was slaughtered."

After Zhang Zhongqi heard the word yurt on the side, he shook his legs and began to recall.

"No one dares to slaughter you this time, roast sheep for free." Qian Tieshan grinned: "Tartar Qingke, let's go eat tomorrow." ”

The reconnaissance team led by Du Dewei not only recorded all the posts on the city wall and the time of changing guards that night, but also went around the city to investigate all the suitable locations for entering the city.

After Dudewei's team returned in the early morning, several traversers quickly discussed a plan to take down the Santun camp: a sneak attack at night.

As the first stronghold to be taken by the traversers, the battle of Santun Camp should be as fast and concealed as possible - there are still a series of battles to be fought later, and once the news leaks out, then the Tartars in the eastern cities will inevitably be vigilant, or even run away, in that case, the gains will outweigh the losses.

So this battle can only be quietly entered the village, and the silencers of the guns are working. And after the fact, the traversal has to do everything possible to block the news, which can be delayed for a day to buy time for subsequent actions.

After finding the focus of this battle, the plan was also released.

During the day of the next day, in addition to continuing to closely monitor the defenders in the Santun camp, the troops were still silently assembling and resting, and did not make any moves.

There is no doubt that for the traversers with all kinds of high-tech combat equipment, night combat is the most powerful mode of warfare, so the special combat team and the guard battalion are responsible for taking the lead at this station.

As for the indigenous soldiers, who are mostly armed with cold weapons, although the task is also very heavy, it mainly plays a supporting role.

From the evening of the same day, the makeshift camp entered a phase of pre-war silence. Everyone was making the final preparations, and the Ming people were divided into small teams in their respective teams, skillfully listening to their team officers read out the pre-battle mobilization and assign combat missions.

.......................

Night, March 29, 1630.

Tonight is starry and moonlight, and it doesn't seem like a good day to be a traitor. However, for the special forces that galloped in the seventeenth century, none of these disadvantages were a problem.

The vanguard of 40 special combat personnel, fully armed, set out from Jingzhong Mountain Pass in the middle of the day (20 o'clock), and after making a circle in half an hour, they came to the moat outside the north wall of Santunying City in the dark night.

In ancient times, due to defensive reasons, the most threatening side of the city wall did not have a gate. This is the case with Santun Camp: the city wall facing the Great Wall in the north is complete, and the entire city only has gates on the south, east, and west.

The vanguard went around this wall because there were the least number of sentry on this side.

In the entire city head of the Santun camp, there are a total of eight outposts. This figure is quite responsible for the cavalry guarding an empty city and ready to retreat at any time.

According to yesterday's reconnaissance, there are two lookout posts in each of the two corner towers in the southeast and southwest of the city. These four lookouts are responsible for observing the east and west sides of the road where the enemy situation is most likely.

In the relative safety, the northwest and northeast corner towers have only one officer on duty. There are also two mobile sentinels, each responsible for patrolling half of the wall.

The vanguard chose this time to attack because the guards had just been replaced, and no one would be on the wall until tomorrow morning.

When the team circled about a hundred meters outside the northern wall, it stopped and began to release the drones first.

Since the north side faces the Great Wall, once the captives break through the pass, they will face this wall as soon as possible, so the shooting boundary under the city is clean and there is no shelter. This requires the sneak attackers to release drones in advance to keep track of the movements of the sentries in the two corner towers at any time.

When the two drones were released, they quickly monitored the infrared-glowing figures in the corner tower.

After seeing that the two figures were in a relaxed posture of sitting or lying, Du Dewei, who led the team today, immediately waved his hand and ran forward with three of his men who had already been prepared.

In the bright moonlight, the four of them bent over, tried their best to slow down, and quickly ran through the dangerous section of 100 meters to the moat.

The moat was not wide, and although it was three feet deep, it was only seven feet wide. The four people, who were deliberately dressed in simple clothes, quietly went down the river and arrived at the opposite bank in a few seconds.

On the opposite bank is at the foot of the city wall, and there is only a narrow edge where you can settle down.

But that's enough. After Dudewei crossed the river, he first used his throat microphone to contact the rear, and after receiving a report that everything was normal, two members of the team took out rope guns from their backs, aimed them at the city and pulled the trigger.

After two soft "bangs", the umbrella-shaped rivets that were driven out were driven into the green bricks at the head of the city.

Next up is the climb. The ten-meter-high wall was not difficult at all in front of the well-trained special combat personnel, and the four of them quickly climbed up to the top of the city along the rope.

Dudeway's current location was specially chosen, just in the middle of the north city wall. After gesturing to each other, the four of them took out their pistols, and in groups of twos and cats, they touched the watchtowers at each end of the city wall.

The walls of Santun camp have a length of more than 800 meters on each side. Du Dewei bent his waist and ran straight forward for 400 meters before he saw the corner tower.

At this time, he pushed the monocular night vision device he wore on his head to his forehead: there were torches inside and outside the corner tower, and there was no need for night vision devices. Then, after hearing the location of the enemy sentry in the headset, the next moment, Du Dewei straightened up and pushed open the wooden door of the corner tower.

The Mongol sentry, dressed in a leather robe and sitting on a pile of straw, was munching on half a leg of mutton, and when he saw a monster enter the door, his mouth opened wide in surprise.

In the sentinel's mind, the whole point of his night shift was to observe the northern mountain roads for the sound of torches and horses' hooves—a sign that something had happened at those passes on the Great Wall.

However, he would not have thought that someone would suddenly reach the head of the city? Originally, he thought that it was a swimming whistle that came in by pushing the door.

The Mongols had no chance to figure out the truth. After Du Dewei entered the door, he raised his pistol and shot him without saying a word. The P229 pistol, with a silencer, did not make much noise in the corner tower.

After killing the sentry, the two quickly flashed into the corner tower and then closed the door. It wasn't long before another group of team members reported "clearing" from the headset. The success of the two groups of players means that there are no more sentinels in the northern city wall.

Immediately afterwards, 40 members of the team under the city also came to the moat. Now that there is no threat from the city, it is naturally impossible for the team members to wet their clothes and equipment for the moat more than two meters wide, so a simple span board was quickly erected here.

After a few people crossed the river, they went up to the city along the steel cable, and then a few soft ladders were thrown down, and then all the team members climbed up one after another.

In the process, the four team members hiding in the two corner towers have been monitoring the two city walls to the south, waiting for the arrival of the swimming sentinels.

The two patrol posts are out of sync, but they come roughly once an hour. This time, Du Dewei won the lottery first, and soon after the team members under the city wall went to the wall, a swimming sentry walked along the dark city wall, and Shi Shiran walked over.

After being alerted by the drone, the corner tower was ready.

The next moment, the wooden door was opened again, and a soldier of the Eight Banners wearing leather armor and a pig's tail walked in.

In the dimly lit corner tower, a Mongolian-robed man in a leather robe was lying on his side in a haystack, seemingly sleeping, without saying a word.

"Ullihan, you stupid pig, you dare to ......"

The Tartar soldier who entered the door was full of anger, and after shouting at the Mongol in Manchu, he was suddenly stunned, and the steps that were about to step forward were stopped, and he touched his waist with one hand - not only did the torches in the corner tower extinguish two, but there was also a bloody smell, and the Tartar soldiers who had killed too many people smelled the smell, and immediately felt bad.

However, he was too late: two pistols protruding from the corner opened fire at the same time, and the Tartar soldier was knocked to the ground only halfway through his waist knife.
